Is there a mod or other way to automatically disable sync when not connected to Wi-Fi? Or is this unnecessary?

Are you connecting to a device via Bluetooth for network access when wifi is off and that's why you don't want it syncing? If so you probably want to get Tasker and set it up to disable syncing when connected via Bluetooth. Otherwise, if you're not connected to the network at all it won't attempt to sync because there's no data connection to sync over.

Turn off Activesync ? (use USB w/o Activesync)

How can leave my Dash connected to the PC/USB but turn off Activesync (4.5) ?
The reason to do this is to allow my Dash to charge off the USB while I am using its WiFi connection (whenever I connect the Dash up to the USB, Activesync jumps in and that shuts down the WiFi connection).
Thanks.
Just check that you haven't configured an AS profile for your device or delete the configured one.
Try "WM5torage"
Makes your device a usb mass storage device and stop AS doing it's stuff. It does make your card unreadable by other software while running so you may want to bear that in mind when doing whatever your doing with your wireless.
Can't you just go into the connection settings in ActiveSync and disable the USB connection?

Yes, that does work. Thanks... its what I want to have happen...
OK I haven't tried this myself ( I do Wm5torage) but here's another link:

There's loads of other useful stuff at that site as well.

Why can't I access data services while charging on PC?

...and more importantly how do I fix it.
When my Excalibur automatically tries to access data services while plugged in I always get a message about not having the right settings.
And on ActiveSync on my PC in the Microsoft Exchange part it says "Attention Required", and when I click on that it says something about checking the data settings on my device.
By default when you connect to active sync your dash uses your PCs connection. If your PC doesn't have an internet connection then you wont be able to use the data connection while plugged in via usb. Activesync has a setting that allows you to use your devices wireless services while plugged in via usb.

Well I do have an internet connection, so I guess something isn't set up correctly. What would that be?
And what is this setting to allow me to use my EDGE connection?
In activesync go to file > conection settings > Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop.

Nope, didn't work. I have that checked off and I still can't connect while plugged in.
can't access data while chargin on pc
Yes I started having the same problem after I changed to the new HTC ROM. My settings are correct on activesync.
Similar issue...
Hey,
I believe I'm having a similar problem and rather than starting a whole new thread I just thought I'd mention it here. I have a wireless connection router in my home, and generally it works fine for all of us. However, everytime I plug my phone in (since upgrading to ricky's rebake of kavana's ****40) my wireless connection goes all haywire and bumps me off. Then, even after I've unplugged the phone for a while, it is still a little weird until I reset everything, restart my pc and all. Any thoughts?

You want it checked to use EDGE while connected to your PC.
If you are using T-mobile data plan(19.99/mo) you will need to delete the 2 proxy entries under connections to make edge work right after using the HTC connection setup wizard. I think those proxy entries are for if you have the 5.99 t-zones plan. I had to delete them, and set my t-mobile data connection to Connect to The Internet to get my apps working right after upgrading.

think you would just have to add that hotspot...then leave your wifi on which will kill your battery...when it detects that hotspot it should auto connect

if you want to constantly search for hotspots with a wifi finder, you're going to eat thru battery like crazy. The constant searching and findin no signal will suck your juice.
Starting on startup is a matter of placing a link to start it in windows\startup . Depending on how the app starts, it may need a script to assist with the startup.

[Q] Bluetooth Sync

Anyone managed to sync the phone via Zune over Bluetooth? Or has an idea how it could work?
I sucesfully connected my phone to my computer via Bluetooth but Zune tells me that the phone is not connected.
Zune Bluetooth - How to connect?
I can't find how to connect my phone by bluetooth. Yes, I know that buying a WP7 is not a good idea, but it's not your problem.

I believe Zune only supports sync over USB port or wifi (via network). If your PC is connected to the same network as your wifi AP, you can try the wireless sync feature of the Zune.
